Magney House

Frampton argues against the homogenizing tendencies of globalized modernism and advocates for an architecture that is rooted in its specific cultural and geographical setting. He suggests that architects should draw inspiration from local traditions, materials, and building techniques while also engaging critically with modernist ideas. 

A specific example that embodies Frampton's concept is the works of architect Glenn Murcutt. Murcutt is known for his environmentally sensitive designs that respond directly to the unique characteristics of the Australian landscape and climate. Magney House, located in New South Wales, integrates elements such as corrugated metal roofing, timber cladding, and operable louvers to respond to the harsh Australian climate.
